Questions for the breeder?

**Stacey** · 30th March 2011, 04:47 PM

Hey guys!

We're going to see Teddy again tomorrow to get to know him a little better and to help bridge the gap between now and when we get to bring him home!

We chose our breeder because she was on the MCCC website and because she clearly cares deeply about her cats. She has mentioned before all the things her cats have been tested for and things to do with their pedigree and so on but I didn't write anything down (oops!)

So I just wanted to know what I should be asking tomorrow because I'm pretty clueless? We've had a good look at where the kittens and cats are being kept and are satisfied that the conditions are clean and the cats are healthy but we're not sure about the other more official things.

Thanks for any help! I just want to make sure that I've covered all the bases and so that we know exactly how the ownership of Teddy will be transferred etc.

One of our breeders has the following, which I think has some good suggestions:

The 'pink slip' (if GCCF) will be given to you when you pick up your kitten; it will have his unique registered number on it as well as his 'proper' name, it will show his parents and their details too. your breeder will sign this slip and then its up to you to fill in your details, and send it off along with the transfer fee. You will usually get a contract of sale too from your breeder, wich you usually both sign, which will clearly show that you are now your kitten's legal owner, as well as a pedigree with at least four generations.

As for questions, I'm hopeless at that bit too and instanly forget just about everything I've been told!!! Just pay 100% to the cats, see Mum and if possible Dad. I think just about everyone on the MCCC site is a 'good' breeder, some of them are absolutley top of the tree breeders. There is only one on there that looks a bit doubtful to me (and it isn't me, ha ha!)

Enjoy your day out with the kitties

Thanks guys! We're satisfied with our breeder, I suppose I just wanted to know what was expected of us now and the sorts of things we should be talking about

Just ask the usual, what food has he been eating, what litter... lidded or open tray when will he need worming next.
